Steyn on Sooryavanshi\u2019s fear factor<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn believes the young opener is already getting into bowlers\u2019 heads. After Sooryavanshi smashed Bumrah for a six off the very first ball, Steyn said,\u201cI think that’s what he’s done,” he told ESPNCricinfo. “I mean, honestly, he’s created and instilled the fear into bowlers that he’s going to hit you for boundaries.\u201dHe pointed out that even a world-class bowler like Bumrah looked under pressure, adding, \u201cThat delivery from Bumrah, that’s in the slot. That’s so rare of Bumrah. So even the great Bumrah is thinking in the back of his mind: \u2018don’t get it wrong, because if I get it wrong, this guy’s going to hit me for six’.\u201dSteyn explained that this fear can lead to mistakes: \u201cI feel, if you think like that, more often than not, you do get it wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fearless batting<\/keyword> driving RR\u2019s success<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Steyn also highlighted that Sooryavanshi\u2019s confidence makes him dangerous against any bowler.\u201cAnd this kid’s not scared, man. If you miss a half-volley, he’s going to hit you out of the ground\u2026 It doesn’t matter who you are, Bumrah or Jofra Archer,\u201d he added.In the match, Sooryavanshi scored a quick 39 off just 14 balls, while Yashasvi Jaiswal added an unbeaten 77. Their explosive start helped Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians by 27 runs, marking their third straight win of the season.<\/div>\n\n
